In this episode of Supervision Smörgåsbord, host Dr. Tara Sanderson sits down with guest Matthew Verrette, a registered social worker and psychotherapist from Ontario, Canada, whose work seamlessly blends structured cognitive behavioral therapy with the creative world of geek and gaming therapy. Together, they explore how tabletop role-playing games and other forms of media can be intentionally integrated into therapy to enhance engagement and social skills, especially for clients with anxiety and depression. The conversation dives into the importance of "therapy first" when using gaming in practice, the value of supervision in helping new therapists find their own style, and the potential of movies, TV shows, and video games in exposure therapy. Throughout, Dr. Tara Sanderson and Matthew Verrette share their personal geeky passions, reflect on boundaries and use of self in therapeutic relationships, and offer practical advice for therapists and supervisors interested in weaving pop culture and play into their clinical work.
